All motions and objections made during a public hearing shall be stated orally on the record and shall, with the rulings on such motions or objections by the Hearing Examiner conducting the hearing, be included in the stenographic transcript of the hearing.
All motions other than those made during a hearing shall be in writing and shall state briefly the order or relief applied for and the grounds for such motion. Any such motion shall be filed with the Commission and the Hearing Examiner if one has been appointed and a copy thereof shall be served at the same time, personnally or by registered or certified mail, by the party making the motion upon the other party or parties. Answering statements, if any, shall be filed in writing with the Commission and the Hearing Examiner if one has been appointed within three (3) days (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and official State holidays) after service of the motion upon the party filing the answering statement, and a copy thereof shall be served within the same period upon the other party or parties. All motions shall be decided by the Commission or the Hearing Examiner if one has been appointed without oral argument thereon, unless it is determined by the Commission or the Hearing Examiner that oral arguments will be heard, in which case the parties shall be notified of such fact and of the time and place for such oral argument. The Commission shall arrange for a stenographic transcript, which, together with the written motion and the written answering statement, if any, and the ruling thereon of the Commission or Hearing Examiner conducting the hearing, shall constitute a part of the official record of the proceedings.
